It was strong when the North Vietnamese messed with us.
It was strong when the US Marine barracks was blown up
during the Reagan Admin. 220 KIA.
It was strong when the Chinese forced down a US plane and held the airmen for over two weeks, until Bush apologized and they were released. Remember all the handwringing by Republicans about weakness and humiliation? Me neither!
And of course it was strong on 9/11 too.
I have absolutely no understanding of your point. Everything you have mentioned belongs to every overlapping administration since Eisenhower...ie Indochina et al France(I like Ike).
